Coming Home to Bohol

 

It was fiesta time of May 1996  when I first visited my hometown in Matabao, Tubigon, Bohol . It was time of the year when old folk seem to have mastered the art of putting out all their earnings for the year.  After a week or two, they will start saving anew for next year’s fiesta.  “Nagpapasalamat kami sa Ginoo kay sa panahon sa pista nagkakita ang tanan mga kaigsoonan ug kaparetehan,” elders will say in the Visayan vernacular, meaning that they are thankful to God that close family ties remain in the island of Bohol as each town still has its way of attracting people to go home to celebrate the monitoring fiesta season.

 

It is a jokingly said that May is the month when Bohol is "sinking" because the population of Bohol during this month is multiplied twice, thrice, or even four times. Describing it as a reverse exodus, elders  narrate that once the first of May strikes, people from abroad, from Manila , and even nearby provinces begin flocking back to their small barrios like Matabao in the town of Tubigon. This is also the time for family reunions when family members from places far and near gather to keep in touch with loved ones.The bigger number of balikbarrios  is considered as  an indication that more are becoming well-off.  The larger the arrival means that more have been able to earn money for their vacation, as elders  pointed out that it is a given fact that the younger generation would prefer to stay in areas with better economic opportunities.

Boholanos are known for their unique hospitality. One of the most common hospitality "icon" or hallmark of the Boholanos is the FIESTA. Although Bohol fiestas occur for the most part of the year, no month is merrier during the fiesta month of May. The festivities during this time of the year put no rest day in your daily schedule .A fiesta is celebrated by a town or a barrio each day for the whole month of May in honor of its patron saint.  Once a year, the entire town is  decorated for the annual feast, in which there will be plenty of free food and drinks for all. Preparations for the fiesta already start long before, preparing the decoration, and saving for food. Fiestas are characterized by plenty of food and merriment. 

The merry Bohol fiestas heighten up as May enters. The fiesta month opens with the Tagbilaran City Fiesta on May1 and continues with other entertaining festivals held almost every where in the province. It is one of the most exciting and fun-filled occasions of the year. Why the townships celebrate their fiestas consecutively and all in one month is something I don't really know why for sure, but it still remains to be something truly awesome.

During the month of May, if one is just adventurous enough, he can go around the whole province of Bohol and enjoy eating for free for the whole month. Everyday in the month of May, there is a town, a barrio, or even a "sitio", that is celebrating a FIESTA.  Fiesta proper is a whole day of house-hopping for eating, drinking, and dancing the ap in each residence as rice cakes, kinilaw na pusit and fish, ube and many local delicacies are laid on the table. If you are a first time fiesta goer or mamistahay in Bohol, perhaps it is wise to acquaint yourself on our fiesta etiquette. Otherwise, you may not be invited again for next year's fiesta celebration. And if I may add a piece of unsolicited advice - do not eat too much in the first house you visit; it may not be the only house you will go to during fiesta day.Whether you're a family member or a virtual stranger, everybody's free to party and join in on the merriment.

Traditionally, a novena is made each day for 9 days before the fiesta, and nightly activities or presentations are usually donethe plaza  converting the plaza into a  special  area primarily aimed to raise funds fro development projects. . During the vesperas or vesper day, the day before the fiesta, a procession is made. A misa pontifica or pontifical mass is done at church during the day itself, followed by sumptous meals at each home. Processions and other exciting activities are held to celebrate the life of a patron saint or the whole city in general. Joining the procession in honor of San Jose , the barrio Matabao’s patron saint,  is to fulfill their promise of thanking him for bringing them back to where they really came from.

  In 1996 , I witnessed one evening where  middle-aged women hold plastic cups for the ap dance, a ballroom dancing event wherein the woman who accumulates the largest amount of money in her cup from those eager to dance will be declared the “queen of the night.”

 

The roots of Philippine fiestas go back even further - back to before the Spanish conquistadores arrived in the 1500s. In the old animistic culture, regular ritual offerings were made to placate the gods, and these offerings evolved into the fiestas we know today. A wonderful fiesta season means good luck for the rest of the year. For individual Filipinos, fiestas can be a way of supplicating the heavens or to make amends for past wrongs.

May 8 is the fiesta of my family's hometown  Barrio Matabao, Tubigon, Bohol. Although my lolo hailed from this barrio, The first time i went home for fiesta was in May 1996. I was only 26 years old then.

A day after the celebration, the balikbarrios normally proceed to explore the more exciting side of Bohol . The Gorecho clan is blessed to hail from a province known for  its famous icons – Chocolate Hills, the amusing tarsiers, the amazing beaches of panglao island, the sumptuous lunch along Loboc River and the dolphins of Balicasag, Pamalican and Cabilao island. The province prides itself of its beach resorts, a brochure even stressed that “all of them are gorgeous.”  It has 151 kilometers of coastline skimmed by lovely coves and clean white sand beaches. With an aggregate land area of 4,117.3 square kilometers, the terrain of Bohol is rolling and hilly as the island’s interior is generally flat although it is dotted by 1,268 mounds of the same shape – popularly known as the Chocolate Hills – throughout the towns of Carmen, Batuan and Sagbayan .Boholanos refer to their island homeland as the ' Republic of Bohol ' with both conviction and pride.Bohol is the home province of Carlos P. Garcia , the fourth president of the Republic of the Philippines (1957-1960) who was born in Talibon, Bohol.

My surname is “GORECHO”, and I am one of the remaining species carrying the surname of a clan that originated from Barrio Matabao in Tubigon, Bohol . A surname that is not found in the Claveria Decree (Catalogo Alfabetico de Apellidos) when “Indios” were forced to change the surnames during the Spanish era as a means of population control, or a zoning scheme to determine your place of origin. A surname that perhaps originated from Galicia , Spain . A friar surname: theory, myth or fact? I am currently doing an extensive research on the family tree . At present, I already traced eight generations that originated from the matrimonial bondage of Isidro Gorecho and Tomasa Cristobal. Its interesting to note that surnames seems to re-appear in other lines (like Gorecho-Mante, Mante-Gorecho, Gorecho-Corpuz, Gorecho-Embradora, Embradora-Gorecho) signifying intermarriage between not-so distant relatives, a typical occurrence in the provincial set-up.

After the fiesta, residents would once more engage in their slow-paced life in the barrios.  And will save anew for next year’s fiesta.

Gorecho Family tree

GORECHO FAMILY TREEE

( Bohol)

 (as of May 2012)

We are now  embarking into an illustrious endeavor to document the Familia Gorecho..Perhaps, if preparations and coordination will be successful, a grand clan reunion can be organized soon.The Family Tree will be an updated database on the members of the Gorecho Clan that originated from the matrimonial bondage of Isidro Gorecho and Tomasa Cristobal. I am now in the process of documenting eight (8) generations of Gorechos.  Out of this matrimonial bondage are three siblings: Alejandro Gorecho, Melchora Gorecho and Joseph Gorecho. Alejandro was married to Barbara Bulahao with six children, Melchora was married to Pedro Mascarinas while Joseph was married to Irenea Estabaya. Thus, there are eighteen (18)   major lines : Six for Alejandro Gorecho and Barbara Bulahao (Librada, Leopoldo, Benegilda , Victoria , Victor, and Gregorio), seven  for Melchora Gorecho and Pedro Mascarinas (Segunda, Enrique, Seferino, Florencio, Felis, Herminigilda and Isidra), and five for Joseph Gorecho and Irenea Estabaya (Constancio, Eusebio, Eulogio, Teofilo, and Juanita).   

The  Gorechos came from Tubigon and Calape Bohol which   is  located in the Central Visayas region. Recently, the updated list came from the Gorechos of  Lanao del Norte as descendants of Joseph Gorecho.

To review your Philippine History , the filipinos were forced to change the surnames during the Spanish era as a means of population control, or a zoning scheme to determine your place of origin. On November 21, 1849 Governor General Narciso Clavería ordered a systematic distribution of family names for the natives to use. The Catalogo Alfabetico de Apellidos was produced and approved names were assigned to families in all towns. The book itself consists of 141 pages. The  surnames are arranged in 6 columns with at most 72 surnames per column. Despite the title, the surnames are not strictly listed alphabetically (after Gandain is Ganavacas then Gandoy, and Balledor is listed under "V"). All of the letters of the Spanish alphabet are represented except for the letters "I" (in the Spanish orthography of the time "Y" was used instead of an initial "I"), "K" and "W" (there are no Spanish surnames starting with these letters) and "X" (due to a consonant shift, earlier surnames like Ximénez were spelled Jiménez, with a J, by that time.) Name distribution was so systematic that civil servants assigned family names in alphabetical order causing some small towns with only a few families to end up with all names starting with the same letter. Since there are potentially at most 61,000 surnames in the book, not all of the surnames were used.. 

 

However, when i checked the said list, the surname "gorecho" or any of its variation are not included in said list. Perhaps, it came from a Spaniard who settled in the Philippines  since  Gorecho/ Gorricho/ Goricho  is a Galician surname meaning it was patterned from the inhabitants of Galicia , Spain. It  is an autonomous community in northwest Spain., bordered by Portugal to the south, the Spanish regions of Castile and León and Asturias to the east, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Bay of Biscay to the north.The name Galicia comes from the Latin name Gallaecia, associated with the name of the ancient Celtic tribe that resided north of the Douro river, the Gallaeci or Callaeci in Latin, and Kallaikói (καλλαικoι) in Greek (as mentioned by Herodotus). According to Ptolemy, these Callaeci were the first tribe in the area to battle the invading Romans.

In the I-Witness  documentary titled  "Ang Mahiwagang Ngiti ni Rizal" ,  my good friend Howie Severino reported that the lamp that contained the paper of "MI ULTIMO ADIOS" was given to him by Juliana Gorricho Pardo de  Tavera. He carried with him said lamp until his last breath. Juliana is the mother of Paz Pardo de Tavera who was the wife of Juan Luna, another of Rizal's illustrious amigos,. Paz  and Juliana soon met a tragic end at the hands of  Juan Luna  in the Pardo de Tavera house in Paris.  Though Juliana's surname is spelled "GORRICHO", there is a possibility that my surname is related to her though mine is spelled as "GORECHO". I have also encountered persons carrying another variation of my surname which is "GORICHO"

We have to establish a database on the address and other  means of communication among the Gorecho clan for easy dissemination of information, such as emails, phone numbers. facebook accounts.
